In some of these countries there are various incentives to encourage people to have children. So of a fact, smaller families replicated does not mean progress for any country even though it may seem that way in the short term.<br /><br />FIONAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065038968977488432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676934682400489176.post-58512633927213669122016-04-09T06:32:43.158-07:002016-04-09T06:32:43.158-07:00I agree with you somewhat.

One income cannot pay the mortgage,car loan, utilities, clothing and food because the cost of living is high so both parents have to work. With both parents working there is less time to end with six children and some ofthe parenting task is delegated to a babysitter. When the parents do have time, in the evenings and on weekend it is easier to spend it with a few children than many . In an agrarian society the cost of living is low and the more children you have the more hands you have on deck to work the farm. However, an industrial society relies on telecommunication, and large industries that required technical, skilled and professional labourforce and as the demands of society changes the family evolves to meet that demand. <br /><br />Small families and controlling family size is not to be viewed as a bad thing at all. Having three children instead of six means that a parent should (in theory) be able to spend more time with each child and invest in their lives. Investing in each child will then produce more stable adults who are fit to proliferate the labourforce.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031990560080219370noreply@blogger.com
